Earthshaker - Y&T
I had forgotten about this lot. This is surprisingly good in an AOR kind of way. A bit like a slightly heavier Journey.
"Knock You Out" makes you smile as much as "I Believe In You" makes you cringe. 
Most of this type of rock makes you cringe as you get older. It's specifically designed for 14 - 16 year old boys really.
Not sure what that says about me then being somewhat more than 16 when they appeared on my radar, even if it was briefly. I saw them play a blistering set at Reading in nineteen-something based almost entirely around Eathshaker. I looked forward to the next album and tour and thought "Black Tiger" was pants so didn't bother. Someone played me a late eighties track of thiers ("Contagious"?) which was poodle rock at it's most hairsprayed. Awful. It was a brief affair..
Along the same(ish) lines as Clarions previos post, iTunes came up with a little run in "Shuffle" mode that I'd never have come up with in a million years but worked brilliantly. Sequence as follows
Bye Routes - Golden Earring
Lucky - Radiohead
Shipwrecked - The Big Dish
All That You Dream - Little Feat
